IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE BigMM 2020 Organizing Committee have been monitoring the developing COVID-19 situation. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, we are announcing that the IEEE BigMM 2020, scheduled to be held in-person in New Delhi, India will now be converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the conference will remain the same. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. More details regarding the conference and online registration will be available soon.

Multimedia “big data”, covering from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world, have become an important and valuable source for insights and information.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM) was inaugurated in 2015 in Beijing, China. Subsequent conferences have been held in Taipei, Taiwan (2016), in Laguna Hills, California, USA (2017), Xi’an, China (2018), and in Singapore, Singapore (2019). IEEE BigMM has fully established itself and is on a path to further broaden its audience. Jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing), IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), BigMM aims to establish a community of researchers from academia and industry focusing on the synergetic interactions between multimedia content and big data analytics. It is a world premier forum of leading researchers in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications.

Multimedia, as one of the most important and valuable sources for insights and information, is increasingly being considered as big data.” Multimedia big data includes but is not limited to text, image, graphics, audio, video, social, and sensor data that is highly valuable in decision making. It covers from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world. As such, multimedia big data is spurring on a tremendous amount of research and development of related technologies and applications.

The focus of the conference series has been established with the belief that it is important to have a full, top-tier conference that focuses specifically on the combination of multimedia and big data research. While research about specific aspects of big data systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the information retrieval, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, BigMM aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia big data types. Furthermore, BigMM provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses both multimedia and big data holistically. The mission of the conference is to share research results and solutions and to identify new issues and directions for future research and development work.

We are thrilled to inform that @VideoKen4All will be helping @IEEEBigMM 2020 with indexing all conference videos. This will strengthen our efforts in spreading the popularity of Multimedia research with as many as researchers in India.

Submit your ideas that you think will be relevant to the community. A great opportunity to explore new ideas, work on challenging problems and a great platform to bring smart people together to brainstorm new solutions.

We are pleased to invite a call for sponsorship for the 6th IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM) 2020.

Sponsoring the conference will provide several benefits such as (but not limited to): - Maximum visibility during the pre-conference announcements and the conference. - Development of familiarity with the innovation leaders of multimedia and big data. - Early and in-depth-exposure to ideas that will shape the future of multimedia and big data. - Product and service demonstrations by a short oral conference talk and booth. - A recruiting event pairing sponsors at the gold level and above with soon-to-graduate students that have experience in the multimedia big data area. - Appreciation of attending soon-to-graduate students of the sponsor’s profile, and opportunities for informal contacts during the conference. - An opportunity to collaborate with researchers attending from both academia and industry. - Permanent presence on the IEEE BigMM 2020 website. - Free registrations to attend the conference.

Consider submitting your Grand Challenge proposals to the IEEE BigMM 2020. Kindly share the CfGCP with others who may wish to submit Grand Challenge proposals to IEEE BigMM 2020, which will be held at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, in collaboration with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi).

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM), jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing) and IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), is the world's premier forum of leading scholars in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications. The sixth BigMM conference is jointly hosted by the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), will be held in JNU, New Delhi from September 24 to 26 in 2020.

The IEEE BigMM’20 organizing committee are inviting proposals for the Multimedia Grand Challenge which is to be held in conjunction with the conference. The objective of the Challenge is to attract the multimedia research community by proposing well defined and objectively judged challenge problems aim toward putting into practice and evaluate the state-of-the-art research which in turn can potentially lead to future research directions. The major criteria of the Challenge is that proposed problems should be useful and of interest to the community, and should involve a series of research tasks over a long period of time, with pointer toward long-term research.

Grand Challenge proposals should be submitted via email to the workshop co-chairs:

A Multimedia Grand Challenge proposal should include: A brief description explaining why the challenge problem is important and relevant to the multimedia research community, industry, society over the span of the next 3-5 years. A description of a specific set of research tasks or sub-tasks to be carried out towards tackling the challenge problem in the long run. An outline of the current state-of-the-art techniques and a description of why this Grand Challenge would help in accelerating or providing new research directions in the multimedia research community. Pointer to the relevant datasets to be used for objective training and evaluation of the grand challenge tasks. Clear and complete documentation on the datasets should be provided. A description of clearly and rigorously defined evaluation metrics and/or procedures on how the submissions will be evaluated. Work with IEEE BigMM’20 organizers to publicize the Grand Challenge tasks to researchers for participation. Contact information of at least two organizers who will be responsible for organizing, publicizing, reviewing and judging the Grand Challenge submissions as described in the proposal. It is highly recommended to publish and maintain a website related to their specific Grand Challenge containing the information, datasets, tasks for the Grand Challenge at least the next 3 years. Note that although we ask organizers to express a multi-year commitment to their Grand Challenge, the Challenge will still undergo a new review each year. Priority will be given to Grand Challenges which have been successful in the past and are clearly contributing to continuity.
